Obituary

Harrington, Pauline (Paula) (nee DePasquale) died peacefully surrounded by loved ones on
October 30th , 2018, age 73 of Drexel Hill. Born in Chester Pa, the daughter of Achille (Mike)
and Louise DePasquale and sister to Nicola (Nicky), she graduated from Notre Dame of Moylan High School. She worked for Estee Lauder at Macy’s as a makeup consultant, the office manager of R.S Harrington Design and Construction, and Clerk for Mario Civera State
Representative. Her last position was as a medical receptionist from Drs. Annsley, Flannigan,
and Fisher Opthamologists at Lankenau Hospital. Sadly, because of her illness, she was
forced to retire before her wishes.
Paula had many hobbies including boating on the Chesapeake Bay, golfing, reading, and
gardening. She loved holidays and spending time with her family. Tasting the samples at
Costco with her husband was one of her favorite past times. Her favorite drinks were margaritas and Lambrusco. You could always count on her freezer being stocked with Peppermint Patties. Game nights always included Rummikube and tons of laughter. Many fun times were had with the C-Dock Party Animals at Great Oaks Landing. She instilled the love of boating and family to her children and grandchildren.
Paula was a devout Catholic and her faith was always important in her life. This devotion gave
her peace and tranquility even through the hard times, especially her last and hardest battle
with leukemia. Throughout this battle, she showed great strength and perseverance while still
putting others ahead of herself. Her faith gave her the strength to fight which was an inspiration to us all.
Paula is survived by her beloved husband of 51 years, Robert (Bob) who has been by her side in the best and worst of times. They were married on July 1, 1967 at St Roberts of Chester, Pa. They had two beautiful children and six grandchildren.
Paula is survived by her children Gregory and his wife Becky and Lisa and her husband Jason. Paula was a loving Mom-Mom to Melissa, Sarah, Christian, Alex, Allison, and Matthew. She is also survived by her brother Nicky and his wife Michelle, her nephew Michael and his wife Becky, and her niece Nicole. As well as her great niece and nephew, Ella and Cade.
Relatives and friends are invited to her viewing from 9:00 to 10:30 am on Saturday November 3, 2018 at Saint Dorothy’s Catholic Church; Funeral Mass to follow at 10:30 am. Internment at SS Peter and Paul Springfield, Pa. Saint Dorothy’s Catholic Church is located at 1225 Burmont Rd Drexel Hill, Pa 19026.
